F6's unique split, semi-rigid braided construction makes it the ideal solution for situations where ease of installation is of primary importance. The lateral split allows the tube to open up to accommodate a wide variety of bundling requirements, and the semi-rigid braid configuration simply closes around the entire installation without the need for any additional fasteners (Velcro, tape, etc.). The 10 mil PET braid is lightweight, quiet and flexible. The 25% edge overlap (at nominal diameter) allows coverage around inline plugs, connectors and splices. It will bend to a tight radius without distorting or splitting open and, unlike full rigid tubing, will not impair or affect the flexibility of harnesses. The F6 also allows for the addition or removal of wires without disassembly!

This general use cable is ideal for both DIY home use and for field installers. It's fray-resistant properties allow frequent expansion at the cut-end without unraveling. Cuts easily and neatly with regular scissors and maintains a fray resistant end during installation. When scissor cut, the end of the F6 wrap it will withstand heavier handling without fraying than standard PT.

Worked exactly as expected, and was much better than any plastic cable loom you can buy at the store, and was much cheaper than any "nicer" cable loom you can buy in stores. The only thing that doesn't work, as advertised by TechFlex, was that it does open up a little bit around bends, but not too bad at all.
